TomTom ONE 3rd Edition 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator

User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Simple to Operate
I purchased this as a gift for my husband, a gadget guy. He was so pleased. It is simple to operate but gives very accurate directions. The voice directions are great. We spent the next day just navigating around our area and testing it to see if it could navigate through rural areas. I was surprised it knew the unpaved roads as well as the major streets. I would recommend this to those who want a simple to use navigation device.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Tough as a nail
I've had this product for over a year now and I couldn't be more satisfied.

Pros:
-This gives me fairly accurate directions (it does have a tendency to announce sometimes that you have arrived when actually you are 100+ feet away... but all I do is slow down and look around).
-It has an option where I can avoid a portion of the route... very nice. While driving from Boston to New Jersey, I know the George Washington Bridge is going to have traffic so I simply avoid that portion of the route and walla... it automatically navigates me through some other bridge.
-Also, it has many different ways of entering address... so that you do not need to know the complete address always. There is no need to enter both zip and city name... either one will suffice.
-This is built very tough (see explanation** below)

Cons:
-My only complaint would be that the mounting cup looses suction soon and my GPS keeps dropping approximately once every 45 minutes. But there are ways to work around this though (easiest one is to apply few drops of water in the suction cup before sticking it to the windshield if you dont mind the dirty stains on your windshield).

Pros (contd):
-**But the above mentioned complaint also let me discover probably the strongest advantage of this GPS. It is built very strong. I have managed to drop it almost 40 times so far, but it still works as well as it did on day one.
-Best of all, its cheap.

So to summarize, this product is a no-frills GPS and its meant to provide you with driving directions - It excels in doing its job!



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Ya gotta love these things!
This is the best little GPS unit available. Not hard to use or program and lots of extras. I love it.



User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - TomTom One 3rd Edition
First time using a GPS unit, found the TomTom to be easy to use. I have learned in a short time, to listen to the directions TomTom offers. Not knowing about GPS's system I wish I had purchasing a TomTom with more features. Still very pleased with this unit.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Tom Tom Terrific
We purchased a Tom Tom prior to our 2200 mile journey through California, and I have to tell you, it was marvelous! It's very easy to use, saved us a lot of time looking through maps, and made driving through LA a dream (well, almost). One unexpected delight we discovered this past weekend while driving from Santa Barbara to Northern California was that under "points of interest" you can actually type in a destination(like Starbucks or B of A, for example) and it will actually provide a list of these locations to choose from!

You have many choices of voices, and we use the British female voice whom we choose to call B@$^ch Betty. She is very astute and warns us well in advance of any turnoffs.

Highly, highly, highly recommended!
